Baked chicken meatballs with minced celery and carrots hidden inside, topped with Franks hot sauce – with Superbowl Sunday happening this weekend, these are a must!

I topped these with my homemade blue cheese dressing and minced a little celery leaf for garnish – totally optional! Since they are appetizers and made an odd number, I calculated the n.i. per meatball but by all means, eat more than one!

Directions:Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a non-stick baking sheet with oil.In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko crumbs, egg, scallions, celery, carrot and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using clean hands, mix until combined. Roll the mixture (1/8 cup each) into 26 round meatballs.

Place meatballs onto prepared baking sheet and bake until cooked through and golden, about 16 to 18 minutes.Place the meatballs in a bowl, add the buffalo sauce and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately, drizzled with blue cheese dressing, if desired.
